I picked up a Prophet 2000 the other day and it needs some love to get back up and running. What behavior will a disk drive than needs to be replaced display? Mine powers up and the motor turns, but I can not get a sample disk to load. I get an iF (incorrect format) message. I am not sure if all the sample disks that came with it are corrupt. I doubt they all would be, though I haven't tried them all. I also was unable to format a disk MF2DD type, which I think are the same as DSDD. Does anyone have the schematic? The main issue has to do with the output. When I plug in headphones I get clean sound out the right channel only. When I plug into an amp, I get somewhat clear sound for 1 voice and crackley noisy sound when more than 1 voice is used. Still nothing much out the left channel, every once in a while it will sound when both mono jacks are used. For the 1st 7 presets when I press the same key repaetedly it will sound 4 times then silent 4 times then sound 4 times, ect. Presets 8-12 will sound for all key strikes. Thanks for any help, Bob
